In the United States, a motion of censure is a congressional procedure for reprimanding the President of the United States, a member of Congress, or a judge.Unlike impeachment, in the United States censure has no explicit basis in the federal constitution.It derives from the formal condemnation of either congressional body of their own members.…

It is not, in my estimation, the whole duty of a war correspondent to go around the earth making friends for himself, or looking after his personal comfort, or booming himself for a seat in Parliament on a cheap patriotic ticket.It is rather his duty to give praise where praise is due, censure where censure has been earned, regardless of consequences to himself.…Cited from Campaign Pictures of the War in South Africa (1899-1900), by A. G. Hales

I have little reason to think well of Mr. Quarrier; he is intemperate, in many senses of the word, and intemperance, it is true, connects closely with the most odious crimes.But in this case censure has been too quick to interpret suspicious circumstances -- suspicious, I admit.Far be it from me to speak in defence of such a person as Mrs. Wade; I think she is a source of incalculable harm to all who are on friendly terms with her -- especially young and impressionable women; but you must trust my judgment in this instance: I am convinced she is not guilty.…Cited from Denzil Quarrier, George Gissing

Because the bulk of the expulsions were expulsions of Southern sympathizers during the American Civil War, 19 of the 20 expulsions involved a member of the Democratic Party, with the only exception pre-dating the founding of the modern political parties.Censure has been a much more common form of disciplinary action in Congress over the years, as it requires a much lower threshold of votes to impose.The great majority of those expelled -- 17 members -- were removed from office for their support of the Confederacy in the immediate aftermath of secession.…

Ireland does not show so well, and England relatively is almost as bad as Ireland, yet England might well have shown the path of prudence to her poorer sister by greater adventure herself in the sensible domain of railway amalgamation.Much undeserved censure has been heaped upon the Irish lines; sins have been assumed from which they are free, and their virtues have ever been ignored.John Bright once said that "Railways have rendered more service and received less gratitude than any institution in the land."…Cited from Fifty Years of Railway Life in England, Scotland and Ireland, by Tatlow

It has been reserved for him to run the race of glory without experiencing the smallest interruption to the brilliancy of his career.The breath of censure has not dared to impeach the purity of his conduct, nor the eye of envy to raise its malignant glance to the elevation of his virtues.Such has been the transcendent merit and the unparalleled fate of this illustrious man!…Cited from Washington's Birthday, by Various, Ed. by Robert Haven Schauffler

That this conjecture is not wide from the mark, I am induced to believe from the noticeable fact, which I can state on my own knowledge, that the same general censure has been grounded by almost every different person on some different poem.Cited from Biographia Literaria, Samuel Taylor Coleridge

This kind of satire only has any delicacy in it.Of this delicacy Horace is the best master: he appears in good humour while he censures; and therefore his censure has the more weight, as supposed to proceed from judgment, not from passion.Juvenal is ever in a passion; he has little valuable but his eloquence and morality: the last of which I have had in my eye: but rather for emulation, than imitation, through my whole work.…Cited from The Poetical Works of Edward Young, Volume 2, by Edward Young

Much censure has attached to the Spanish government for its share in this unfortunate transaction; both in the appointment of so unsuitable an agent as Bobadilla, and the delegation of such broad and indefinite powers.With regard to the first, it is now too late, as has already been remarked, to ascertain on what grounds such a selection could have been made.…Cited from History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella V2

Rangel.Augustus Hill Garland, Attorney General in Grover Cleveland's administration, was censured in 1886 for failing to provide documents about the firing of a federal prosecutor.…

Many imaginative and many philosophical performances have lately shown that this censure has now become unjust; and much more forcibly answers the sarcastic question of Bohours than the thick quarto of Kramer.Cited from Curiosities of Literature, Vol. 1 (of 3), by Isaac D'Israeli

When religion obtained the support of law, if admonitions and censures had no effect, they were seconded by the magistrates with coercion and punishment.It, therefore, appears, from ecclesiastical history, that the right of inflicting shame by publick censure has been always considered as inherent in the church; and that this right was not conferred by the civil power; for it was exercised when the civil power operated against it.…Cited from The Works of Samuel Johnson in Nine Volumes, Vol. V, by Samuel Johnson
